The Compressible Pillow by Therm-A-Rest is a portable pillow that does not take up a lot of necessary space, especially when traveling by car, train or backpacking. The Compressible Pillow packs down super small and when released to be used, they expand to a size that fits your head. The best part about these pillows is they are actually comfortable and convenient to have, even for house guests, or just watching tv.

What’s in MY pack? Backpacking gear lists from a Great Smoky Mountains overnighter"Ever since we published a series of backpacking gear lists this spring (an ultralight backpacking gear list, a traditional backpacking gear list and a beginner’s backpacking gear list) several blog readers have contacted me to ask which of those items I personally carry. After all, it’s one thing to compile lists of suggested backpacking gear, and another thing entirely to disclose exactly what I take on the trail. Well, what better way to follow up those gear lists, and answer that question, than with another gear list?"

Used this pillow the first time on the airplane and during a week of camping. My head was always comfortable. It compresses down easily and is always fluffy again when opened up. Great pillow for the price! I am buying another for my husband.
